I think I'm experiencing the purest form of love imaginable

You seem to be missing the point. I'm not saying I want to get with her. I'm asking if it's odd to have such feelings for somebody when your relationship is completely platonic. And yes, I already told her how I feel, and she told me the feeling is mutual.
So then,isn't your question basically answered? Go out with her. If it doesn't work well,at least you know she felt the same.
 
A lot of relationships start that way. Some of the best relationships are the result of a strong platonic ones.

So if you both "love" each other? Why aren't you dating if you aren't already?

You know, I really don't know. We're just not interested in each other that way, I guess. In any case, she's got a boyfriend, and my ex and I have started dating again (albeit much more slowly than the first time she and I got together).

Relationships like that never work out in the long run. Your penis will win the battle in the end, call it off now if you don't want to nail her.

Not quite. Neither of us want to date. That wasn't the question. I was just curious as to whether or not it's a common thing to love a friend in that nature.
 
It was always so sad Kevin and Winnie never married. :(

It doesn't work that way, I've never heard of "just friends" ever working out.

I believe so. Even when I'm not trying to get in the girl's pants,and just be friends I find that it's hard not to develop those feelings once you get to know them. If you two are already in relationships,I honestly don't know what to tell you.

Yeah...then I suggest you put some space between you and your friend if you want to work things out with your ex.

I doubt that's true. And I wouldn't classify what I'm feeling as naivete. There are plenty of folks who are friends with the opposite sex and remain that way.

But to be fair, I'm not completely ruling out the possibility that we could end up in a relationship in the future. I just seriously doubt it would happen.

I'll tell you this, though: If it turns out you're right, I'll be man enough to admit it.
 
Unless you're gay you'll find out that you want to nail her senseless within a few months.
 
I have this friend. She and I are very close. I'm not attracted to her or anything, but we're really great friends. And something hit me not too long ago when I was thinking about her: I love her. I mean I really, truly love her. I would give anything for her without a moment's hesitation. And the reason this perplexes me is because we're not in a relationship, and we're not related. Until now I never thought a person could feel that kind of love for somebody who doesn't fall under either of those categories. It's really kind of confusing.

So, am I odd? Or is this sort of thing commonplace?

I've had a friend like that now since the summer after sophomore year.

It's kind of weird... You feel like you don't have any desire to have a dating relationship with another person, so long as you have this person as a friend.

How many straight men do you know that are "just friends" with a pretty girl?

Not saying the thought of sleeping with her never crossed my mind. Still, speaking from a purely emotional point of view, I don't have those kinds of feelings for her.

Now you're either lying to yourself or she's ugly.

But what the hells with all of these people thinking that they'll get sound advice from a super hero forum?

Well to be fair, I wasn't asking for advice so much as I was asking for opinions, if that makes any sense.

To answer your question, I think there are some pretty intelligent people here, actually. That includes folks I disagree with on certain subjects. For instance, you and I obviously disagree on this subject. I still respect your input, though.

This thread also contains a high percentage of virgins and hermits too.
